Thomas was the eldest of 9 children.
His brother, Andrew 1900-1971 was the husband of my great aunt, Margaret Malcolm.
I have recently received a PM on Ancestry to let me know about this.

Excellent. Hope you can help CWGC and perhaps attend the dedication service for the headstone.
Nice to see these men are not forgotten.
